| 1332819 | 2013-03-15 08:32:00 | We will be traveling to the USA soon and am thinking if an ipad works out cheaper to buy there we might do. However, will it work ok in NZ including access to apps etc? I'm not bothered about 3G so presume wifi access would work as normal. Any experience out there? Thanks. | Mopar440 (17032) | ||
| 1332820 | 2013-03-15 08:34:00 | I see no reason for it not to work in nz. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1332821 | 2013-03-15 09:10:00 | Should work absolutely fine :) | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1332822 | 2013-03-15 09:40:00 | Should work no problem. May need to get a NZ power adapter though. | QW. (15883) | ||
| 1332823 | 2013-03-15 10:08:00 | Ditto to all the above. Got a Nexus 7 from their and it's fine. Should be the same deal. | SanChippy (16951) | ||
| 1332824 | 2013-03-15 10:20:00 | It will work. My niece has a iPad2 that she bought new in the USA. All she did when she got home was to replace the wall plug. Her Wifi connects good as to her house internet and the apps etc all connect. |

If you buy a new charger in NZ (instead of using an adapter for the existing one) make sure you get a nice one that will be able to provide enough current to charge the iPad quickly. Some of the cheap/smaller USB chargers only provide 500mA (or even less!) , tablet chargers should be able to provide 1-2A (1000-2000mA) | The Error Guy (14052) | ||

| 1332827 | 2013-03-15 19:52:00 | ie it's just a usb to wall socket adapter. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1332828 | 2013-03-15 20:30:00 | the apple chargers have the plugs that slide off, so you can just get the nz plug to slide on it True but you can pick up an NZ Socket USB Charger for less than the "plug" part of an Apple one ;) |
